Bay Area youth invited to plan region's future

Youth from the Bay Area are being asked to play a role in the Horizon planning process.

MTC and ABAG have developed Horizon to explore issues and challenges Bay Area residents face through 2050.

MTC and ABAG are now getting youth involved in that process. The agencies will work with UC Berkeley's Y-Plan and area elementary and high school students to get input on the larger Horizon planning process.

There will be a focus on low-income students and communities of color. A regional summit in April 2019 at UC Berkeley will bring together Y-PLAN student scholars and teams to present their visions and recommendations. In addition, each school will produce a report with findings and analysis.
